Doc Hollywood meets It’s a Wonderful Life with a hint of The Santa Clause when a globetrotting toy industry mogul is stranded in this small harbor town days before Christmas.
Despite dreams to explore the world, I’ve never been anywhere other than this small harbor town. Single mom, local postmistress, and one-fourth owner of a failing auto repair shop are all the reasons I’ve remained planted where my roots began.
Hideaway Harbor is layered in love for the holidays, enticing visitors to the coastal area for a seasonal respite, so thanks to an unpredicted blizzard, it’s no surprise when a stranger plows into the town’s welcome sign.
What is a surprise is when he’s suddenly—and rather reluctantly by me—an extended-stay guest in my home thanks to no vacancies in town, some pesky matchmaking, and candy cane martinis on a Monday.
There’s something vaguely familiar about this new visitor. The combination of snow and tinsel colored hair. The well-trimmed matching beard. The laugh lines near his coal-colored eyes. How good he looks in the color red. He’s thoughtful and kind, and has a flair for the holiday season, which makes him most likely to make the top of Santa’s good guy (with a hint of bad boy) list.
After some disappointing news concerning the holidays, the hap, hap, happiest time of the year isn’t feeling so spectacular. But my houseguest’s presence builds a snowstorm of emotions in my chest, making my Christmas wish a transfer to the naughty list . . . with him.
Unfortunately, there’s a mystery behind his origins, and he has “not-staying” written all over him. With places to be before the calendar flips to December twenty-fourth, he’ll soon be gone, and I’ve encountered this heartbreaking, lump-of-coal sensation once before.
No matter how short or sweet his visit, there’s no doubt about the magic we make together, leaving me to wonder if love is the greatest adventure we take.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Well now … this release got away from me! 😮😮 BY TEN DAYS! Why am I like this?! Anywho … I have not only read this story, but I have also listened to it! In fact, I’ve read all 6 stories in this series and listened to the first four! Again, why am I like this?!
🎧📚Audiobook & Ebook Review📚🎧
I truly enjoy getting lost in an LB Dunbar story! She has such an authentic vibe and style to her writing that they have become a sort of comfort for me. When I’m feeling “some kind of way”, I always know a story penned by her will pull me from that place and put a huge smile on my face! I didn’t feel “any kind of way” going into The Holiday Post but I sure did enjoy it and it put a huge smile on my face! There is one aspect of this story that didn’t put a smile on my face and that’s the sexual nature of the story. Without going into too much detail, I’ll just state that when the sexual encounters of the main characters overshadow their journey, it’s never a win for me. I like a good sexual representation in my stories because it is realistic and true to life, but sometimes … this was borderline skim-inducing. Aside from that, there’s quite a bit of humor and #feels to this story which is a perfect combination for me.
🎙️The Holiday Post is performed by 🎤Erin Mallon & Oliver Highpoint🎤 with dual narration. I’ve always enjoyed Erin’s narration and even though I haven’t listened to Oliver Highpoint too many times, I think they both paired really well together for this story. The story is told mainly in our female’s POV which was a bit of a saving grace for me because Oliver’s delivery wasn’t always smooth and it tended to take me out of the scene sometimes. But like I said, I think they paired well together overall.
This entire experience for me would rate at a solid 3.5 stars that I can easily round up to 4!
